< Xaakinnada 6 >
1 Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay sameeyeen wax Rabbiga hortiisa ku xun; markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu intii toddoba sannadood ah gacanta u geliyey reer Midyaan.
Abako-Israyeli benza okubi futhi emehlweni kaThixo, wabanikela ezandleni zamaMidiyani iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
2 Oo gacantii Midyaanna waa ka adkaatay reer binu Israa'iil; markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil waxay reer Midyaan aawadood u samaysteen boholo buuraha ku yaal, iyo godad, iyo dhufaysyo xoog leh.
Ngenxa yokuthi umbuso wamaMidiyani wawuncindezela kakhulu, abako-Israyeli bazakhela amadumba ezingoxweni zezintaba, lasezimbalwini kanye lasezinqabeni.
3 Oo markii reer binu Israa'iil ay wax beeri jireen, waxaa iman jiray reer Midyaan iyo reer Camaaleq, iyo reer bariga, wayna ku kici jireen;
Kwakusithi abako-Israyeli bangalima izilimo zabo, amaMidiyani lama-Amaleki kanye labanye abantu basempumalanga bahlasele ilizwe labo.
4 oo intay ag degaan ayay ka baabbi'in jireen wixii dhulka uga baxay, ilaa la soo gaadho Gaasa, oo reer binu Israa'iil ugama ay tegin wax la quuto, iyo ido, iyo dibi, iyo dameerro toona.
Bahlala elizweni bachitha izilimo umango wonke kusiya eGaza kabaze bamtshiyela lutho oluphilayo u-Israyeli, loba izimvu kumbe inkomo loba obabhemi.
5 Waayo, waxay la iman jireen xoolahooda iyo teendhooyinkooda, oo waxay u faro badnaayeen sida ayaxa oo kale. Iyaga iyo geeloodu midna tiro ma lahayn; oo waxay dalka u iman jireen inay baabbi'iyaan.
Beza lezifuyo zabo lamathente abo benjengemitshitshi yezintethe ngobunengi. Ubunengi babantu lamakamela abo kwakungabaleki; bahlasela ilizwe balichithiza.
6 Oo reer Midyaan aawadood ayay reer binu Israa'iil aad iyo aad ugu caydhoobeen; markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga u qayshadeen.
AmaMidiyani abaphundla abako-Israyeli baze bakhala kuThixo ukuba abasize.
7 Oo markii reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga ugu qayshadeen reer Midyaan aawadood
Kwathi abako-Israyeli sebekhalile kuThixo ngenxa yamaMidiyani,
8 ayaa Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil u soo diray nebi; oo wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil sidan buu leeyahay, Anaa idinka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, oo waxaan idinka soo saaray gurigii addoonsiga;
wabathumela umphrofethi, owathi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli: Ngalikhupha eGibhithe, ngalikhupha elizweni lobugqili.
9 waanan idinka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta, iyo gacantii kuwii idin dulmi jiray oo dhan, oo kulligood intaan hortiinna ka eryay ayaan dalkoodii idin siiyey;
Ngalihluthuna emandleni eGibhithe lasezandleni zabancindezeli benu bonke. Ngabaxotsha phambi kwenu ngalipha ilizwe labo.
10 oo waxaan idinku idhi, Anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo waa inaydnaan ka baqin ilaahyada reer Amor oo aad dalkooda deggan tihiin; laakiinse idinku ma aydnaan dhegaysan codkaygii.
Ngathi kini, ‘Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lingabakhonzi onkulunkulu bama-Amori, elihlala elizweni lawo.’ Kodwa kalingilalelanga.”
11 Markaasaa waxaa yimid malaggii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu hoos fadhiistay geedkii ku yiil Cofraah, oo uu lahaa Yoo'aash kii reer Abiiceser; oo wiilkiisii Gidcoon ahaa ayaa sarreen ku tumayay meeshii macsaradda inuu ka qariyo reer Midyaan.
Ingilosi kaThixo yafika yahlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi e-Ofira esasingesikaJowashi umʼAbhiyezeri lapho indodana yakhe uGidiyoni eyayibhula khona amabele esikhamelweni sewayini ukuze iwafihlele amaMidiyani.
12 Markaasaa malaggii Rabbigu u muuqday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbigu waa kula jiraa, nin yahow xoogga lahu.
Ingilosi kaThixo isibonakele kuGidiyoni yathi kuye, “UThixo ulawe, butho elilamandla.”
13 Oo markaasaa Gidcoon malaggii ku yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, haddii Rabbigu nala jiro, de maxaa waxyaalahan oo dhammu noogu dhaceen? Oo meeye kulli shuqulladiisii yaabka lahaa oo ay awowayaashayo noo sheegeen, oo ay nagu yidhaahdeen, Miyaanu Rabbigu naga soo bixin dalkii Masar? Laakiinse haatan Rabbigu waa na xooray, oo wuxuu gacanta noo geliyey reer Midyaan.
UGidiyoni waphendula wathi, “Kodwa nkosi, nxa uThixo elathi, pho kungani konke lokhu kwenzakele kithi? Zingaphi izimanga zakhe zonke obaba abasitshela ngazo besithi, ‘UThixo kasikhuphanga eGibhithe na?’ Kodwa khathesi uThixo usesidelile wasinikela ezandleni zamaMidiyani.”
14 Markaasaa Rabbigu isagii eegay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Xooggaagan ku tag, oo reer binu Israa'iil ka badbaadi gacanta reer Midyaan. Sow kuma aanan dirin?
UThixo waphendukela kuye wathi, “Hamba ngamandla olawo uhlenge u-Israyeli ezandleni zamaMidiyani. Kanti kangikuthumi na?”
15 Markaasuu isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Sayidow, maxaan reer binu Israa'iil ku badbaadiyaa? Bal eeg, reerkaygu waa kan ugu liita reer Manaseh, oo anna waxaan ahay kan ugu yar reerka aabbahay.
UGidiyoni wabuza wathi, “Kodwa nkosi yami, u-Israyeli ngingamhlenga kanjani na? Usendo lwakwethu koManase kalulamandla, njalo mina ngingomncinyane emulini yakwethu.”
16 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Hubaal waan kula jirayaa, oo waxaad reer Midyaan u layn doontaa sida nin keliya.
UThixo waphendula wathi, “Ngizakuba lawe, njalo uzawacakazela phansi wonke amaMidiyani, ungatshiyi lamunye wabo.”
17 Oo markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddaba haddaad raalli iga tahay, de calaamo i tus inaad tahay kan ila hadlaya.
UGidiyoni waphendula wathi, “Nxa khathesi sengithole umusa emehlweni akho, nginika isibonakaliso sokuthi impela nguwe sibili okhuluma lami.
18 Waan ku baryayaaye, halkaas ha ka tegin ilaa aan kuu imaado, oo aan qurbaankayga kuu keeno, oo aan ku hor dhigo. Isagu wuxuu yidhi, Waan ku sugayaa ilaa aad soo noqotid.
Ngiyakucela ukuba ungahambi ngize ngiphenduke ngilethe umnikelo wami ngiwubeke phambi kwakho.” UThixo wathi, “Ngizahlala uze uphenduke.”
19 Markaasaa Gidcoon gudaha galay, oo wuxuu diyaariyey orgi yar, iyo qiyaas eefaah bur ah oo uu ka sameeyey kibis aan khamiir lahayn. Hilibkii wuxuu ku riday dambiil, maraqiina dheri buu ku shubay, oo wuxuu ugu keenay oo ku siiyey geedkii hoostiisa.
UGidiyoni wangena phakathi wahlaba izinyane lembuzi, wasesenza isinkwa esingelamvubelo ngehefa yefulawa. Esebeke inyama esitsheni lomhluzi wayo embizeni, waphuma lakho wayakunikela kuye ngaphansi komʼOkhi.
20 Markaasaa malaggii Ilaah wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Hilibka iyo kibista aan khamiirka lahayn qaad, oo waxaad saartaa dhagaxan, oo maraqana ku qub. Oo isna sidaasuu yeelay.
Ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yathi kuye, “Thatha inyama lesinkwa esingelamvubelo ukubeke phezu kwedwala leli, uthele umhluzi.” UGidiyoni wenza njalo.
21 Markaasaa malaggii Rabbigu wuxuu soo taagay ushii gacantiisa ku jirtay dabadeedii, oo wuxuu ku taabtay hilibkii iyo kibistii aan khamiirka lahayn, markaasaa dab ka soo baxay dhagaxii, oo wuxuu laastay hilibkii iyo kibistii aan khamiirka lahayn; oo markaasaa malaggii Rabbigu ka libdhay araggiisii.
Ngesihloko somqwayi eyayiwuphethe ingilosi kaThixo yathinta inyama lesinkwa esingelamvubelo. Umlilo walavuka edwaleni watshisa inyama lesinkwa. Ingilosi kaThixo yasinyamalala.
22 Markaasaa Gidcoon arkay inuu yahay malaggii Rabbiga, oo Gidcoon wuxuu yidhi, Waa ii hoog, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, waayo, malaggii Rabbiga ayaan fool ka fool u arkay.
Kwathi uGidiyoni esenanzelele ukuthi kwakuyingilosi kaThixo, wamemeza wathi, “Awu, Thixo Wobukhosi! Ngibone ingilosi kaThixo ubuso ngobuso!”
23 Kolkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Nabad ahow, oo ha cabsan, adigu dhiman mayside.
Kodwa uThixo wathi kuye, “Ukuthula! Ungesabi. Kawuyikufa.”
24 Markaasaa Gidcoon halkaas wuxuu Rabbiga uga dhisay meel allabari, oo wuxuu magaceedii u bixiyey Rabbigu waa nabad, oo taasu xataa maantadan la joogo waxay ku taal Cofraah tii reer Abiiceser.
Ngakho uGidiyoni wakhela uThixo i-alithari khonapho walibiza ngokuthi uThixo uyiKuthula. Kuze kube lamhla likhona e-Ofira lama-Abhiyezeri.
25 Oo isla habeenkaas ayaa Rabbigu ku yidhi isagii, Kaxayso dibiga aabbahaa, kaasoo ah dibiga labaad oo toddoba jirka ah, oo waxaad dumisaa meeshaa allabariga loogu bixiyo Bacal oo aabbahaa haysto, oo geedaha Asheeraah ku ag yaalna jar;
Ngalobobusuku uThixo wathi kuye, “Thatha inkunzi yesibili emhlambini kayihlo, eleminyaka eyisikhombisa ubudala. Udilize i-alithari likayihlo alakhela uBhali, ugamule lezinsika zika-Ashera eziphansi kwalo.
26 oo Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah meel allabari uga dul dhis dhufayskan, oo hagaaji, oo kexee dibiga labaad, oo geedihii Asheeraah oo aad gooysay qoryihiisa ku bixi allabari la gubo.
Emva kwalokho wakhele uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho umhlobo we-alithari oluyilo engqongeni yalinqaba. Unikele inkunzi yesibili njengomnikelo wokutshiswa usebenzisa inkuni zensika zika-Ashera ozigamuleyo.”
27 Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu soo kaxaystay toban nin oo addoommadiisii ahaa, oo wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbigu u sheegay, oo shuqulkii habeennimuu sameeyey, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ka cabsanayay reerkii aabbihiis iyo dadkii magaalada, oo taas darteed maalinnimo ma uu samayn karin.
Ngakho uGidiyoni wathatha izinceku zakhe ezilitshumi wenza njengokutshelwa kwakhe nguThixo. Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi wayesesaba abemuli yakwabo labantu basedolobheni, wakwenza ebusuku kulokuba kube semini.
28 Oo dadkii magaaladu markay aroor hore soo tooseen ayay arkeen in meeshii allabariga Bacal loogu bixin jiray ay dunsan tahay iyo in geedihii Asheeraah oo agteeda ku yiil ay salka ka go'an yihiin, iyo in dibigii labaad lagu dul bixiyey meeshii allabariga oo loo dhisay.
Ekuseni kwathi abantu bedolobho lelo bevuka babona i-alithari likaBhali lidiliziwe, lezinsika zika-Ashera emaceleni alo ziganyulwe lenkunzi yesibili inikelwe phezu kwe-alithari elalisanda kwakhiwa!
29 Markaasaa midkoodba wuxuu kii kale ku yidhi, Yaa waxakan sameeyey? Oo markay haybiyeen oo dadkii weyddiiyeen ayaa la yidhi, Waxakan waxaa sameeyey Gidcoon ina Yoo'aash.
Babuzana besithi, “Ngubani owenze lokhu?” Kwathi sebebuzisise kakuhle babatshela ukuthi, “Kwenziwe nguGidiyoni indodana kaJowashi.”
30 Markaasaa dadkii magaaladu waxay Yoo'aash ku yidhaahdeen, Soo bixi wiilkaaga aan dilnee, waayo, wuxuu dumiyey meeshii allabariga Bacal loogu bixin jiray, oo geedihii Asheeraah oo ku ag yiilna salkuu ka gooyay.
Abantu bakulelodolobho bathonisa uJowashi bathi, “Ikhuphe indodana yakho. Kumele ife, ngoba idilize i-alithari likaBhali yagamula lezinsika zika-Ashera emaceleni alo.”
31 Markaasaa Yoo'aash wuxuu ku yidhi dadkii ku kacay oo dhan, Ma idinkaa u dagaallamaya Bacal? Oo ma isagaad badbaadinaysaan? Kii u dagaallama ha la dilo subaxda, waayo, hadduu isagu ilaah yahay, de ha isu dagaallamo, maxaa yeelay, waxaa laga jebiyey meeshiisii allabariga.
Kodwa uJowashi waphendula ixuku lelo elalifuthelene limhanqile wathi, “Lizakhulumela uBhali na? Lizama ukumhlenga na? Loba ngubani omlwelayo uzabulawa ekuseni! Nxa uBhali engunkulunkulu sibili, angazivikela nxa umuntu ediliza i-alithari lakhe.”
32 Sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu maalintaas Gidcoon u bixiyey Yerubbacal, oo wuxuu yidhi, Bacal ha la dagaallamo isaga, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ka dumiyey meeshiisii allabariga.
Ngakho ngalelolanga uGidiyoni bambiza ngokuthi “Jerubhi-Bhali,” besithi, “UBhali kalwe laye,” ngoba wadiliza i-alithari likaBhali.
33 Markaasaa waxaa is-urursaday reer Midyaan, iyo reer Camaaleq, iyo reer barigii oo dhan, oo intay Webi Urdun ka gudbeen ayay dooxadii Yesreceel degeen.
Ngalesosikhathi wonke amaMidiyani, lama-Amaleki kanye labanye abantu basempumalanga bamanyana bachapha iJodani, bamisa eSigodini saseJezerili.
34 Laakiinse Ruuxii Rabbigu wuxuu ku soo degay Gidcoon, markaasuu buun ku dhuftay, oo waxaa ku soo ururay reer Abiiceser.
Umoya kaThixo wafika kuGidiyoni, wasetshaya icilongo emema ama-Abhiyezeri ukuba amlandele.
35 Oo wuxuu wargeeyayaal u diray reer Manaseh oo dhan, oo iyana markaasay ku soo urureen; oo haddana wuxuu wargeeyayaal u diray reer Aasheer, iyo reer Sebulun, iyo reer Naftaali, oo iyana way u yimaadeen inay la kulmaan iyagii.
Wathuma izithunywa kulolonke elakoManase, ebatshela ukuba bahlome, lako-Asheri, koZebhuluni kanye lakoNafithali, ukuze labo bayebahlangabeza.
36 Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Sidaad ii sheegtay, haddaad reer binu Israa'iil gacantayda ku badbaadinaysid,
UGidiyoni wathi kuNkulunkulu, “Nxa uzasindisa u-Israyeli ngesandla sami njengoba uthembisile,
37 bal eeg, meesha sarreenka lagu tumo ayaan dhigayaa dhogor idaad, haddaba haddii dharab qoyo dhogorta keliya oo dhulka kale oo dhammuna uu engegnaado, markaasaan ogaanayaa inaad gacantayda ku badbaadinaysid reer binu Israa'iil, sidaad ku hadashay.
khangela ngizabeka uboya bewulu esizeni. Kungaba lamazolo eboyeni bewulu kuphela iphansi lomile, ngizakwazi ukuthi uzamsindisa u-Israyeli ngesandla sami njengoba utshilo.”
38 Oo sidii bay noqotay, waayo, markuu toosay subaxdii dambe, oo tuujiyey dhogorta, wuxuu ka maroojiyey koob muuggiis oo biyo ah.
Lokho yikho okwenzakalayo. Kusisa uGidiyoni wavuka ekuseni wakhama uboya wahluza amazolo, umganu wagcwala amanzi.
39 Markaasaa Gidcoon wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Cadhadaadu yaanay igu kululaan oo markan keliya ayaan hadlayaa. Markan keliya aan dhogorta wax ku hubsado, waan ku baryayaaye. Bal markan dhogorta keliya engeg ha noqoto, laakiinse dhulka kale oo dhammu dharab ha lahaado.
UGidiyoni wasesithi kuNkulunkulu, “Ungangithukutheleli. Ngivumela ngenze esinye isicelo esisodwa. Ngivumela ukuhlola kanye futhi ngoboya. Khathesi yomisa uboya kuthi iphansi ligcwale amazolo.”
40 Oo Ilaahna sidii buu yeelay habeenkaas; waayo, waxaa engegnaa dhogortii keliya, oo dhulka kale oo dhammuna dharab buu lahaa.
Ngalobobusuku uNkulunkulu wenza njalo. Uboya kuphela yibo obabomile; iphansi lonke ligcwele amazolo.
